Foley, James E.

Abstract Or Scope

The collection centers around the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac (RF&P) Railroad Company, which linked Richmond to Alexandria, and connecting railroad lines (i.e. B&O Railroad, C&O Railroad, Southern Railroad, Atlantic Coast Line, and the Seaboard Airline Railroad). The material largely consists of annual reports, time tables, rules and regulations, historical facsimiles, and miscellaneous ephemera. The collection ranges in date from 1869 to 2002, but is predominantly from the first half of the 20th century.
